Ok heres my problem,

My phones battery is completely messed up. The phone ALWAYS says that its at %99 battery(and the number never decreases) but after a couple of minutes of use it will turn off by itself, no warning or anything.

I think I know how it happened(as a warning for other ppl). I went on vacation once and I didn't have a charger cuz there were no computers at the hotel, so I brought a random USB wall charger I found laying around(which I later found out it belongs to some spy pen camcorder :P).

Unfortunately though it was charging SUUPPERR slow, so I got the crazy idea to charge it while it was off and to my surprise(dramatization) it charged (a lot)faster.

So I kept charging it like that every day and I noticed that every charge took less time than the last. It also started turning off by itself, though not as frequently as now. I thought the problem would fix it self once I charged it on my computer again, but I was wrong. TT_TT

---

Can anyone offer any solutions? I have a G1 with CM5 and clockworks recovery. I know clockworks recovery lets you do something with the battery, but idk how to use that :(

please help, this is a REAALLY annoying problem thats forced me to go back in time
[G1 General] r3s-rt:
You need to make sure it's putting out the same amount of power as your regular charger. I'm not 100% sure of this, as all I can do is charge at my computer and I have no idea how that works (as in if computer puts out waaay more power or has a limit of how much to put out) but I've always heard too much can be a bad thing for batterys. Also, don't overcharge.

^^Just posted that in another thread.

I've tried 2-3 different keyboards, and I cannot figure out how to select a word from the middle of sentence, or place the cursor there if I need to. For example in this short paragraph, if I need to click after the word and above, I just can't figure out how to do it.

Feelin' kinda dense :o
[Captivate General] unclejimbo88:
Most phones have a dpad, but since the Captivate doesn't it's a little harder. On the Swype keyboard, you can swipe from the Swype key (the little squiggle with the i on top) to the "sym" key.

That opens up another page of keys with arrow buttons on it. Android really needs to do something about text input soon, it can be a pain.

[HD2 General] googlesax:
Hey Guys,

I've been having a TON of problems with my storage card lately. I was using doubletwist to sync music when the problems first happened. Basically the storage card flipped out, it wouldnt allow any access either through the computer or on the phone. So i turned off the phone popped the Storage Card out and then back in. When I plugged my HD2 back into the computer i discovered that all my files on the storage card had been deleted. :(

I called t-mobile customer care and they told me to call the htc accessories line to get a new one. Did that and the lady says theres nothing they can do as all the cards are back ordered.

I'm worried that its going to happen again, and on top of all this my 16 GB Storage card is now 971 MB, i was adding my applications when it said the card was full so i checked and thats what the computers giving me.

I figured that maybe if i formatted the card it would work but i cant find that option anywhere when i right click on the card when plugged into the computer.

So basically all i have now is a 971 MB Sd card with a few applications on it instead of the 16 GB preloaded SD card that held about 200 pictures taken with the phones camera(that are now gone along with Transformers and everything else that was on the phone)

Sorry for the long rant guys but im really frustrated...

Any Help?
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Have you connected the phone to the PC in 'disk drive' mode? If not, then do that to 1) be absolutely sure you can't see/recover any of the files, and then 2) to format it (it has to be connected this way for that option to be available)
[HD2 General] mfrey0118:
I'm not an expert on here (more of a "user" than a "maker") but I have had my share of SD card problems.

If you are using the class 2 card that came with your phone, order a class 4 or class 6. The class 2's are known to cause performance problems for the HD2. When I upgraded to my class 6, I noticed the difference right away on graphics-heavy apps that use the SD card in realtime (i.e. not just to store profiles).

You need to decide if you simply want to get your SD card back or try and save data on it first. If you just want to format it and start over, try these:

Try first using the sd formatter in your HD2, in the "Tools" folder.

If you have a card reader or a card slot in your Windows PC, try inserting the card (or, as sirphunkee said, mount your HD2 as "disk drive" and not as active sync) and go to control panel > administrative tools > computer management > Disk Management and see if Windows can read your card. If it can, you should be able to right click on the drive and select "format". You could also try assigning it a new drive letter. Sometimes it seems to kick start the Drive Management services into accessing your card with a proper mount.

Download SD Formatter from Panasonic. Sometimes when windows can't do it, this program can.

If you have an uBuntu OS installed, sometimes using gParted is also effective.

I have also seen threads on here about downloading the default factory files that should already be on the card, with links...

Hope this helps. But bottom line you should definitely NOT wait for another crappy class 2 card from TMo/HTC and go get a class 6 (you can find them easily enough online for about $50).
[HD2 General] googlesax:
So instead of using active sync to connect use disk drive mode. Got it, but once i do that if there were files to recover i would see them correct?
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Yes, as long as you're looking at the card's contents via file explorer on the pc, not the phone...the one one the phone won't be able to see the card at all when it's connected that way.

Basically, when you connect in disk drive mode, the pc handles the card just like a regular external USB hard drive.

You'll probably be able to format and use it again now that you're connecting it that way, but if it still acts up then go through any and all of mfrey's steps above, including just upgrading to a higher-class card if possible. The stock cards that come with the HD2 seem to be somewhat inconsistent in quality and potentially unreliable, and as he said the speed difference of a faster card can definitely be noticible in every day use.
[HD2 General] googlesax:
i connected the phone via disk drive mode as suggested but i had the same results after connecting multiple times so i decided to format the card through the phone as mfrey suggested. After doing so the card still reads as a total of 971 MB both on the phone when checked under settings and on the computer.

Im going to try going to t-mobile to see what they say about my problem because i dont see how this could happen, ive been using this sd card for about three months and up til a few days ago it worked perfectly

Wish me luck guys
[HD2 General] mfrey0118:
Were you able to see the drive in Drive Management in Administrative Tools? If so, when you right-clicked it, was there an option to delete partition? Did you try SD Formatter (it's free)?

If it's the factory class 2 that came with your phone, it could be bricked...:(

[Vibrant General] iunlock:
Sarcasm, haha laugh a little.

But really, do you guys notice that it takes a long time for the battery to charge?

I think when available, I'll buy a bunch of batteries just to have handy.
[Vibrant General] soklean:
well the battery is 1500mAh the nexus charged pretty quickly but it was 1400mAh i am not sure how much difference 100mAh will make on charging the battery but that could be a possibility.
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
Charging with the computer will always be slower, if that's what you're using.
[Vibrant General] landale:
I wonder if its the charger. The provided charger has an output rating of 0.7A. I know some microusb chargers I have seen are rated as high as 1.0A. That could be the difference.
[Vibrant General] iunlock:
I was thinking the same thing...hhmm could 100mAh make that much of a difference?
[Vibrant General] iunlock:
I always try to avoid using the computer to charge my phone. It just seems to take awfully long even plugged into the wall.
[Vibrant General] iunlock:
Interesting...that could be. However, maybe it's 0.7A for a reason? Perhaps the battery needs to have it at that "flow rate." ???
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
We did get a different charger over the i9000, they had a separate USB cable and microUSB wall charger. We obviously don't have that setup.

Some phones have Li-Pol batteries and they have to charge differently. This could be why it's taking so long to recharge.
[Vibrant General] southpaw773:
check a tmobile store or website for the new portable micro usb charger. charges your phone on the go and recharges itself via a usb charger the vibrant ships with or your computer. i got mine and was a lifesaver the other night when i needed to leave my house with 10% charged.
[Vibrant General] Jon C:
I hate saying this, but: I literally LOL'd from the title of this thread.

I completely agree. Charging takes fuggin' forever. My guess would be that turning the device off helps speed this up, tremendously. But of course, who wants to do that?

That said, battery life has been impressively long, provided you turn off Samsung's widgets. :/
[Vibrant General] area5x1:
That would be a huge design oversight if a generic charger caused problems with the battery. I'm sure Samsung thought about the user charging with a generic charger.
[Vibrant General] iceshinobi:
Mine charges pretty fast I'm using the usb that came with the moto cliq :P
[Vibrant General] teknx:
How fast is fast, iceshinobi?
[Vibrant General] SykesAT:
I have conditioned my battery twice and going from empty with the phone off and pluged into the wall not via usb-pc, took me over 4hrs each time.

If the charger is 0.7 going to a 1.0 would be a huge improvement. The only worry would be the extra heat and problems that might cause. With NiMH batteries quick charging is preferable to slow charging, is this the same for Li-ion?
[Vibrant General] turbosix:
came here for insight as well, woke up at like 5am, phone was almost dead, 10% battery or so

turned it off, plugged it in to the wall charger and it is now 8am and it is maybe 60-70% charged

what the hell?

with my g1 turned off i can go from 0 to 100% charge in like an hour or so using a USB port. now i know the battery is smaller but c'mon... this is ridiculous.
[Vibrant General] MMcCraryNJ:
Could it be that the phone just has to break in? When I first got G1 it would take about 4 hours to charge I remember, now a year and a half later I can get it to 80-90 percent in 1 and a half.
[Vibrant General] siberslug:
The computer USB standard is 100 to 500 milliamp, the USB walloulet adapter (charger) Is 700 milliamp, our batteries are 1500 milliamp and that's why.

USB cables have a certain standards witch includes voltage and current standards.

If you want a fast charger look for a hard wired 1000-1200 milliamp charger with a micro USB connector on ebay.
[Vibrant General] iunlock:
Interesting...having a 1000+ milliamp charger shouldn't cause heat issues would it for pumping in more juice at a higher rate?

Hey guys,

I have been trying various different ROMs lately but I am having a hard time deciding which one to keep. It's also difficult for me to find a suitable ROM with the best (lowest) battery consumption because my usage varies greatly.

So I am wondering... Does anyone here have any suggestion which ROM is the best to use for low consumption of power? Is there any difference in the ROMs at all?

Thanks guys,

BBob

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dglowe343:
Really, if you're happy with the way it is, leave it. I've flashed the latest DC compatible kernel and screen scrolling is much smoother (getting an avg of 55fps in FPS2d), but it might be better to wait for a true fix from HTC (if it ever comes). There are some instabilities that come with it since every phone is different. Screen tearing is one of the big ones. FPS numbers will vary from phone to phone. But if you are rooted, you can always try it out and if you dont like it just restore your nandroid.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oldpreowner:
I came from the palm pre and have been reading here in the forums about rooting. Not a computer tech so I thought I would try unrevoked. It seems to be the easiest but I was wondering as well with the OP what are all the pros and cons of this rooting method. Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Veritas06:
I posted this in another thread, but i don't think unrevoked is a true unlock. I know Toast said that at v2 & i am guessing it is the same thing with v3. From what i've read it only unlocks the NAND "when needed" ( which i think is via Recovery ) so i don't believe you can do things like remove stock apps via unrevoked.

If i am wrong, please let me know & i'll correct my information.

EDIT: As marclile posted, if the NAND is only unlocked in Recovery, then stock apps can be removed, it just has to be done while in Recovery via ADB.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marclile:
i don't know 100% but if it does only unlock NAND when you are in recovery, then you could still remove apps that you didn't want. you would just have to do it via an ADB shell while the phone is in recovery.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Veritas06:
Wasn't thinking when i posted, thanks. I corrected my post above.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteelH:
Rooted a friends phone with that simpleroot as well. I believe the issue is you need nand unlocked to get those root apps to work (I could be wrong here). However, after doing simpleroot I did toasts part 2 and wifi tether worked fine.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] utb:
First off, after rooting your phone id suggest flashing a rom. Theres alot of good ones on this site.

I noticed when i updated my radio to 2.05 it wouldnt let me tether so i downgraded to 1.39 and it works perfectly.

Also you said your using the hotspot, so i ran it on my phone as well (the sprint one) and i see where your getting your error. That hotspot app is still linked with sprint so it gives you that error cause you arent paying for it. You need to go to the market and download Wireless Tethering and it should work like a charm.
[Droid X General] borillion_star:
If anyone was curious I wrote a letter to Motorola, I know it may be a snowballs chance in hell they work with us but its worth a try right?

Ill be posting their reply here.

Hello,

I have a Droid X that I would like to unlock and install custom Android images on, however to my dismay I noticed that the boot loader is encrypted preventing it from being unlocked. As this is my hardware I have purchased, I respectfully request that I be given the information I need to unlock my device's boot-loader. The action of locking the phone in such away goes against the opensource spirit of Android which your device uses.

I have also contacted Google regarding this matter, and am looking forward to your cooperation.

Thank you
[Droid X General] jvward:
Maybe they will lake the apple route and mail u a phone case lol!
[Droid X General] Ryan Frawley:
You're wasting your time. Motorola has every right to do what they're doing. Asking nicely isn't going to change their mind. Especially when you're implying a threat by mentioning that Google was contacted. If you ever looked at the phone, you would notice it says "with Google" on the back, meaning the phone is approved by Google.

!My spelling isn't the best!

So I just rooted my phone, and now im in the process of trying one by one of all the of roms i can get my hands on.

I was wondering if anyone would like to help. I was thinking of some good screen shots and some small videos.

I would love a place where i could find out what these roms looked liked and how they ran.

So hit this up if you in or am I just gonna be wasting my time.

Thanks

[Droid Eris Android Development] cobbawobba:
Sounds like a great idea. First thing I look at are screen shots as well. I've tried almost every rom out there for the Eris. Would love to help.

i think this would have the potential for sticky once it was developed fully...

it would be nice to have a one stop shop area to compare all the many different ROMs
[Droid Eris Android Development] hnsw:
NIce

well i was thinking something simple

- screen-shots

- videos if possible

- off the bat bugs

- speed test (which i might need some help)

- user exp (from 0.0-10.0)

if there's any more...please add more

we should probably redo this thread also. would we do a new thread for each rom?

i hope people who don't take screen-shots or any videos, would say something about the roms too. (the more info we get the more we have to work with)

and I'm also new and not the best at forums so if someone would like to to take charge in setting up these threads that would be great

Thanks
